 1. Introduction
(a) This Code of Practice (CoP) applies to all employers within the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. This
CoP is designed to incorporate requirements set by UAE and Abu Dhabi regulatory
authorities. If requirements of this document conflict with requirements set by another
regulatory authority, employers are required to follow the more stringent requirement.

(b) A permit to work (PTW) system is a formal recorded process used to control work which is
identified as potentially hazardous. It is also a means of communication between
site/installation management, plant supervisors and operators and those who carry out the
hazardous work. Essential features of PTW systems include:
(i) clear identification of who may authorize particular jobs (and any limits to their
authority) and who is responsible for specifying the necessary precautions;
(ii) training and instruction in the issue, use and closure of permits;
(iii) monitoring and auditing to ensure that the system works as intended;
(iv) clear identification of the types of work considered hazardous; and
(v) clear and standardized identification of tasks, risk assessments, permitted task
duration and supplemental or simultaneous activity and control measures.

(c) The PTW does not, in itself, make the job safe but relies for effectiveness on specified
personnel implementing its requirements conscientiously under competent supervision. It is
therefore essential that anyone undertaking hazardous work demonstrates that they have
followed an appropriate risk assessment process to identify and minimize any hazard
associated with the proposed work.

2. Training and Competency

(a) Employers shall ensure that EHS training complies with the requirements of:
(i) AD EHSMS RF – Element 05 – Training and Competency;
(ii) AD EHS RI – Mechanism 7.0 – AD EHS Professional Entity Registration; and
(iii) AD EHS RI – Mechanism 8.0 – AD EHS Practitioner Registration.

(b) Employers shall ensure that all relevant parties are competent to undertake their role within
the PTW Procedure.

(c) Training shall be developed that is specific to the entity and defines the roles and
responsibilities of each of the prescribed roles in Section 3.

(d) Further to role specific training, entities shall ensure that all staff has been given awareness
training on the requirements of the PTW procedure and how this affects their role.

(e) Training shall be competency-based and include:

(i) overview of the PTW system;
(ii) legal and entity requirements;

AD EHSMS RF – Version 2.0 – February 2012

CoP 21.0 – Permit to Work Systems Page 6 of 17
 (iii) responsibilities and authorities under the PTW system;
(iv) documentation requirements;
(v) how to close Permits;
(vi) PTW conditions eg. validity, required signatures, precautions etc; and
(vii) emergency procedures.

3. Requirements
